17 acre mixed use property located in the heart of South Fork along Hwy 149. The property is zoned commercial currently, and can be rezoned to allow for commercial, multi-family, and/or residential. The property has approximately 0.50 acre of Hwy 149 frontage, allowing for a commercial lot along the Hwy 149. This property also shares a CDOT concrete driveway access to Hwy 149, with the adjacent property. The remaining @ 16.50 acres have potential to be developed as a multi-family and/or single family residential project. The 16.50 acres situated behind the commercial lot on Hwy 149, include level benches 15 feet and 25 feet below the highway entrance elevation. This provides for varied elevations and separate view corridors for groups of houses or multi-family condos, without the need for extensive land development construction activities. The property can also be developed as a hospitality project to include a hotel and condo development with direct Hwy 149 access. The entrance is highly visible and at grade to Hwy 149 while the lower elevation of the property would provide privacy and allow the housing and/or condo development to be hidden from highway traffic. The views from the property are spectacular, overlooking the Rio Grande River corridor and having unlimited views of the Rio Grande Club clubhouse and surrounding mountains. There is currently a main sewer line running the entire length of the property, adjacent to the railroad tracks. There is also a sewer line running along the back of the 0.50 acre commercial lot. The railroad corridor sits on land owned by this property ownership, with an easement for the use of the railroad. South Fork Water & Sanitation District has sewer capacity for this development. The Town of South Fork is currently expanding its water availability to provide water to additional portions of the Town. San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative provides reliable electric power as well as Ciello high speed fiber optic internet. The Village at Wolf Creek, the future destination resort project, adjacent to and within the Wolf Creek Ski Area, has obtained its legally mandated access to its property. The potential for tourism growth in the Wolf Creek region, including South Fork and Rio Grande County, has never been been stronger. The western third of Rio Grande County is nearly 90% public lands. This does not provide large swaths of private land for development in the South Fork region. The future of South Fork will be to grow and fill in the remaining vacant land, providing new and additional commercial and professional services, for both the local residents and the visiting tourist base. The benefit of the majority of the land located in the western Rio Grande County being public lands, primarily Rio Grande National Forest lands, is that South Fork will grow up, but never overgrow. Urban sprawl will not overtake South Fork. This equates to a limited supply and increased demand of real estate in the region. South Fork, Colorado, The Mountains are Calling!
The Premier Commercial / Multi-Family development property in South Fork! Over 700 feet of the South Fork of the Rio Grande River, and both sides of the river.

Direct access to Highway 160, which currently averages nearly 6,000 vehicles daily, provides a direct artery to the tourists visiting the Southern Colorado mountains. South Fork Water & Sanitation District has sewer capacity for this development.

The views from the property are spectacular, encompassing both banks along the South Fork of the Rio Grande River. Mountain views surround the river property. Unfortunately, there are not other similar development properties in the South Fork region that have the potential and amenities as this 17 acre riverfront property. The western third of Rio Grande County is nearly 90% public lands. This does not provide large swaths of private land for development in the South Fork region.

New construction. 3,200 sq. ft. Shouse/Barndominium located on nearly 1 acre of land adjacent to the Anaconda Irrigation Ditch and heavily treed river bottom. The 1,600 sq. ft. shop has one 10'W x 14"H garage door and one 10"W x 10"H garage door. The shop is 40" deep and 40' wide for RV's, vehicles, motorized toys, and storage.

The two-story condo/house has a total of 1,600 sq. ft., with 800 sq. ft. on the main floor and 800 sq. ft. on the second story. The construction of the condo is currently 80% complete. Construction will continue through 2024. Now is the time to purchase and complete/finish the condo to your own specifications.

Or, use the three bedrooms for additional sleeping area for use as a Short Term Rental (STR). STR permits are available through Rio Grande County. Use the shop to lock up all of your recreational toys and rent out your condo when you are not enjoying it yourself. Another option, if you do not need the condo for yourself, is to rent out the three bedrooms for long term, local employee housing. This would provide affordable workforce housing for the South Fork region and make the condo an investment property.
